Ingredients
- 2 large heads romaine lettuce chopped (about 8 cups)
- 1 cup croutons homemade or store-bought
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 3 anchovy fillets finely chopped (or 1 tsp paste)
- 1 egg yolk raw, or use pasteurized for safety
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
Make the Croutons
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Toss bread cubes with oil and garlic powder. Spread on baking sheet. Bake 8-10 mins until golden and crisp. Cool slightly.
Prepare the Dressing
- Mash garlic and anchovies in a bowl to a paste. Add egg yolk, lemon juice, and mustard. Whisk well. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while whisking. Keep whisking until thick and creamy. Season with salt.
Chop the Lettuce
- Rinse romaine under cold water. Pat dry with a towel. Chop into bite-sized pieces. Place in a large bowl. This keeps it crisp and fresh.
Toss the Salad
- Pour dressing over lettuce. Start with half, add more as needed. Toss gently with tongs. Add croutons and Parmesan. Grind black pepper on top. Serve right away.
